The more the merrier but it looks like the podcast idea (which started as a joke!) may be a route worth taking :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for taking the time to post a comment - it works both ways. It&#39;s such a boost to the confidence to know people are getting ideas from the posts I write. As I said to Val my long suffering horse will appreciate that his time hasn&#39;t been wasted too!<br /><br />You think going large for half a circuit is tough?

It’s a simple thing but it’s enough to send you back to old habits.&quot;<br /><br />That made me laugh - it&#39;s so true! Sticking with the changes and adjustments of position is very challenging, for me anyway. <br /><br />Pointing the thumb towards the bit is an excellent way to explain and fine tune the straight line from elbow to bit rule. Different from how I have been instructed previously. This is what I appreciate about your blog. <br /><br />Great news about the new site and offerings! Any chance of down-loadable audio bites? Then you could join me in the arena, but I could just hit play over and over, while you save your voice. :DCalm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245952445455454984.post-5399547543972406122012-02-25T06:01:05.595-08:002012-02-25T06:01:05.595-08:00Thanks Val - I&#39;m lucky to have a very tolerant...Thanks Val - I&#39;m lucky to have a very tolerant (if somewhat bemused) horse that I ride round the menage working these things out! It&#39;s great to hear that it works for you and not just me. It has had some amazing results too. Hope it does the same for you.<br />LorraineLorraine Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322496275100753654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245952445455454984.post-25140657238161578912012-02-25T05:57:49.334-08:002012-02-25T05:57:49.334-08:00Oh wow.

My teacher has taught me to flatten my wrist, but your explanation of pointing the thumb toward the bit describes it perfectly. Congratulations about the good news and thanks for another great post!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.com
